*** RELEASE NOTES ***
The currently available version of Winamp Autoplay Extender (WAE) is Version
0.2. It is a full-on remake of the old version and currently very stable.
I have tested it on Windows 95 and 98 machines, both without any problems
occurring.
The latest version is always available at http://www.ultracool.net/.
Currently known bugs: none.
Currently planned features: Start-Menu-Addition feature, automatic Winamp
                            Executable search, neat-looking config window,
                            MP3-CD-ROM support, .....

*** DOCUMENTATION ***
The purpose of this program is to play your Audio-CDs automatically with
Winamp whenever they are inserted into the CD-ROM drive. This avoids the
Windows CD-Player to pop up instead.

Using WAE is pretty straight forward. Just unzip the archive, run the
WAE.EXE file and click on the right buttons.
Here's a brief description of all features:

 - Use WAE as the default CD-Audio Player
Only if this option is activated, WAE will run. If you want to disable WAE,
simply run it and uncheck the option.

 - Check for default CD-Player at startup
If checked, this option will automatically launch WAE when Windows boots.
Then, WAE will check if it is currently the default CD-Player. If this is
not so, a message will appear, asking you if it should change this. Really
useful if some other program registers itself as the default Player when
installed.

 - Use Winamp for playing CDs
If you want to use the popular Audio Player Winamp from Nullsoft, check this
option. If this is unchecked, WAE will use a different player that you
can specify.

 - Winamp Location
Please enter the correct path AND filename for Winamp in this dialog box.
E.g. if Winamp was in your C:\Program Files\Winamp directory, you would enter
                  C:\Program Files\Winamp\Winamp.EXE
Notice how it contains the Winamp.EXE at the end.

 - Enqueue CD to Playlist
This option adds the inserted CD to the currently open Winamp Playlist. If
unchecked, it will play the CD instead of just adding it to the list.

 - Open Winamp in new instance
If checked, this option will load a new Winamp window whenever an Audio-CD is
inserted into your CD-ROM drive.

 - Use Other Player for playing CDs
If you do not wish to use Winamp, but want to pass on the CD-Location to
a different player, choose this option.

 - Other Player Location
This textbox should contain the complete location of the CD-program that you
wish to use, including Path AND .EXE Filename.

 - Other Player Parameters
This is the tricky (cool, rad, groovy) part about using a different
CD-Player. Here you can specify the Parameters that will be passed on to the
program. WAE hereby automatically replaces %D with the CD-ROM drive path and
%T with a list of the tracks ("E:\TRACK1.CDA" "E:\TRACK2.CDA"....).

 - About WAE
Try clicking it. It's really ...err... cool. =;)


*** LEGAL STUFF ***
WAE was NOT made by Nullsoft. It was made by Stefanus Du Toit. Winamp was
made by Nullsoft, not by Stefanus Du Toit. WAE is a utility that works
together with Winamp (by extending it's autoplay abilities) and therefore
contains the word "Winamp" in it's name.
